Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
Hertha Berlin will look to build on a 3-2 win over Paderborn when they take on Hansa Rostock in the 2. Bundesliga round 29. The capital club have been involved in some high-scoring affairs of late and we are positive that they will adopt yet another attack-minded approach against Hansa. All Pascal Klemens, Smail Prevljak, Gustav Christensen, and Peter Pekarik are out of contention with injuries for the home side.
Hansa, on the other hand, did well to bounce back from a 2-0 loss to Holstein Kiel, with the team beating Wehen 3-1 in front of home fans. Mersad Selimbegovic’s troops are eager to escape the danger zone, but seeing that over the years Hertha have turned their Olympiastadion into a real fortress, home win should be considered. Elias Hoftmann misses out with an ACL injury, but the 20-year-old should be the only absentee in the away team.
